Well, DmC earned more hate than it earned love, and it's true that despite it topped the sales, it was pretty meh in comparison to the games in the main series.

And I think DMC4:SE didn't sell well because it's only DMC4 with three extra characters. No additional content, really. Legendary Dark Knight and Turbo mode were already present in the PC port, and having 5 characters play in 20 levels several times gets boring after a while. If they had bothered adding some extra content, instead of just throwing additional characters to the point playing through all the levels gets boring real quick, then perhaps DMC4:SE would have done much better.

No hating on SE, I want to clarify. I love it, and I still play with Vergil as often as possible. It's just that I see all the possibilities that Capcom ignored by taking the lazy route that could have lead to having a game ten times as awesome as the one we already have.
